Bear Valley Trip




Three days in the living amongst the trees, laying in the sun, frolicking in the water, and even catching some fish...sounds like camping! Well, it does but we definitely were not camping!! Our friends own a cabin in Bear Valley (about 3.5 hours from San Jose) and it was really nice. The kids had such a wonderful time and frankly so do we. With all of our busy lives it is hard to see one another as often as we once had (before kids and jobs) and it is nice to connect with them again.

Alyssa tried her hand at fishing for the first time and she seemed to like it just fine until CJ caught a fish and she went running! I think it was more the fact that the fish was flopping around and she had never seen a fish that close but she definitely had her eye on it at all times. The weather was gorgeous and so were our views.

Alyssa also enjoyed dressing up, can't wait till after Halloween so we can get some really cheap costumes for her!!

Our second night there would have to be the most horrible night that we have had since Alyssa was born. Honestly, she tossed and turned and said "hi mommy" and 'Hi Daddy' all night long. It was like everytime she moved and she felt us she would wake up. We did have the pack n play but she hasn't used that in awhile so I thought she would sleep by us like she does when we go camping. We did learn a lesson tho. She did very well considering she probably lost about 6 hours asleep a day (counting both night and day). Tyler enjoyed being up there with CJ a lot as it has been some time since they really spent any time together. Kiki??? well, all this dirt makes me wonder what possessed me to get a white dog...........
